Well........that was total blast! I took a very dear friend with me and drove 7 hours to see Jake. Met him before the show. I was a wreck. I have met a lot of musicians that were dicks and was worried what I might encounter. All my fear went away when I walked up to Jake and he asked me where I got the t shirt I was wearing. Most everyone there had something for him to sign. Once he was done, it was a chatfest. Talk about a really humble and kind guy. I was stunned at the complete lack of ego. I'm still in disbelief that I finally got to meet my hero.

The show was really fun. They played 8 songs......wanted more, but that's how it goes. I'm not sure who the singer is. I didn't get his name. I was too busy talking to "someone else." I couldn't really hear him as it was super loud. Jonas and Anthony were total powerhouses. They were fucking solid as hell. I had a ball watchin Jonas beat the shit outta that 4 piece kit! He looked like he was having a blast. Of course, Jake was KILLER.

P.S. Jake, if you happen to read this by some off chance, never ever underestimate how much it can mean to a person when their music idol is cool to them. Your music has gotten me thru some tough times. Continue to be all that you were created to be.
